Example #2 Avoiding lost session by session_regenerate_id

<?php
// NOTE: This code is not fully working code, but an example!
// my_session_start() and my_session_regenerate_id() avoid lost sessions by
// unstable network. In addition, this code may prevent exploiting stolen
// session by attackers.
function my_session_start() {
    session_start();
    if (isset($_SESSION['destroyed'])) {
       if ($_SESSION['destroyed'] < time()-300) {
           // Should not happen usually. This could be attack or due to unstable network.
           // Remove all authentication status of this users session.
           remove_all_authentication_flag_from_active_sessions($_SESSION['userid']);
           throw(new DestroyedSessionAccessException);
       }
       if (isset($_SESSION['new_session_id'])) {
           // Not fully expired yet. Could be lost cookie by unstable network.
           // Try again to set proper session ID cookie.
           // NOTE: Do not try to set session ID again if you would like to remove
           // authentication flag.
           session_commit();
           session_id($_SESSION['new_session_id']);
           // New session ID should exist
           session_start();
           return;
       }
   }
}
function my_session_regenerate_id() {
    // New session ID is required to set proper session ID
    // when session ID is not set due to unstable network.

    $_SESSION['new_session_id'] = $new_session_id;
    // Set destroy timestamp
    $_SESSION['destroyed'] = time();
    // Write and close current session;
    session_commit();
    // Start session with new session ID
